Volkswagen is further extending the Beetle line-up and is offering a glimpse of possible versions in the four concept cars. The color "Blue" sets the stage in the concept car Beetle Cabriolet Denim. The body color "Stonewashed Blue Metallic" and the soft top in dark blue with a special fabric texture both make a visual reference to jeans (American: "denim").

Naturally, the use of denim extends to the interior as well. The Color & Trim department restyled such features as the sport seats in blue; the inner seating surfaces are upholstered in a light blue fabric, while the outer surfaces are designed in dark blue V-tex leatherette. The piping was executed in white and the usual small Beetle flags in red. The designers also integrated practical denim-look pockets on the backs and sides of the seats.
Other custom features include a brushed matt aluminum dashpad, door shoulder panels that are painted in the exterior color, contrasting blue door armrests, light ceramique stitching on the steering wheel and shift lever, and a front center armrest that has contrasting stitching and blue fabric.
